Out of interest - any reason why you haven't ordered one of Tobin's tail weight pouches?

I actually tried Ian's yesterday. It's pretty nice and neat, but it didn't sort me out completely so I'm wondering if I need a bit more than 2kg (not sure if the pouch would take more than that) or perhaps the weight further back. The problem with the pouch is it's only got one position.

PS. would you swap your Huggins for a pouch?

I've stuffed 2, 3 lbs (total 6 lbs or 2.7 kg) soft weights into a pouch, but it was very snug. A single 5 lbs (2.3 kg) is a practical max for the pouch.

Might you have a prototype for the Stoney gig?

Transit time is about a week to 10 days, You will save freight if you combine.

Singles should mail for about $4-5 each.
